Summer of love
Cooking outdoors on the EGG is a year-round pursuit, but gathering outdoors to dine is what makes the summer so special. This is the time for long, lazy days of alfresco entertaining, for sharing small plates and big seasonal salads, for grilled meats and fresh fish, for flavour-packed Mediterranean vegetables and lashings of olive oil.
Here are some fantastic summer recipes to get you started.
Barbecued Tomato and Cheddar Tart
A simple summer tart from Chantelle Nicholson of Apricity, filled with cheese and seared cherry tomatoes and baked in an enamelware dish.
Beetroot, Goat’s Cheese and Pistachio Salad with Lemon Dressing
A simple, flavour-packed summer salad of roasted beetroot topped with crumbled goat’s cheese and chopped nuts.
Mackerel Tacos with Burnt Salsa
Homemade tacos filled with seared mackerel, a beautiful fish at its summertime peak. A charred tomato, pepper and chilli salsa brings extra heat.
Rotisserie Chicken
A pair of whole chickens rotating spectacularly over the coals, resulting in crispy skin and juicy meat, perfect with a selection of summer salads.
